My Zinc levels just are not coming up. I have to do another round of this super strong perscription zinc. Does anyone else have long term zinc issues?

I know low zinc is common in celiac but I its not resolving. Too much intestinal damage before dx?

I'll be having more biopsies when they do my next EUS. Bleah. Crying or Very sad

I'm guessing you've been getting your annual followup bloodwork done. How are the tTG and/or AGA IgG/IgA tests?

EUS is Endoscopic Ultrasound-have to have it done every year to check my pancreas. Its a very simple test.
